CHEMICAL APPLE PIE (NO APPLE APPLE PIE)
This is a recipe for apple pie made without apples. It has all the characteristics of an apple pie with apples. If you didn't know better, you'd think that there really were apples in it. This is an old chemistry lab experiment to teach the limits of human senses.

CHEMICAL APPLE PIE
Tastes just like apple pie but doesn't have any apples...my sister in law made this for chemistry class in high school in March 2003, and my mother in law shared the recipe.
